Marcos Alonso is set to join Celta Vigo on a free transfer, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano. The agreement has been finalised, and the contract has been approved. However, the move is contingent on Celta Vigo’s compliance with Financial Fair Play regulations before the formal signing can proceed.
Transfer Details
Alonso, a left-back, will leave Barcelona after his contract expired, making him a free agent. Despite previous rumours linking him to Manchester United, the Premier League club was never a viable option for the Spanish defender.
Background
Alonso, 33, has had a distinguished career, having played for clubs such as Chelsea and Fiorentina before his stint at Barcelona. Known for his attacking prowess and set-piece abilities, Alonso will bring experience and versatility to Celta Vigo’s defence.
Next Steps
The finalisation of Alonso’s move to Celta Vigo now hinges on the club’s ability to navigate Financial Fair Play constraints. Once these financial conditions are met, the formalities of the transfer will be completed.
